[omniORB] [Q] how to perge dead services from Naming service

[V S P]

Just as a follow up to my question

if there is no way to achieve what I am looking for,
does anybody have
an example of a program that 
'pings' all the entries in the naming service
and then asks them to be destroyed if they are not
valid

May be this is a more standard way... but I am stuck now.

Thank you in advance,
Vlad
